How to create a nested double column header in a Power BI matrix visualization

Here's an example of what I'm trying to make from an Excel Pivot Table with the same data.

 

 

I created a matrix visualization that has the following where HR Status is the "Accrual" and "Used" data from the Pivot Table above.

 

However, when I drop two columns into the Visualization (expecting it to nest them like a PivotTable), it only shows the one.

 

 

And when I reverse the order, it just still shows only the one on top.

How do I get it to show both, like the Pivot Table does?  I feel like it's something simple and I'm just missing it.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

  • Try to select Drill on Columns and then click the circled button to show both column headers.

      Yep, that was it.  Thank you so much for the timely help!

  • Hi,

    if this is what you need

    You have to create a matrix

    then drill on rows

    and finally drill on columns
